We are in mourning from the loss of our great friend Jim Burton. Jim was an incredibly accomplished writer, pastor, husband, father, and friend. Although Jim was fighting a long hard battle with ALS, he always was a blessing to everyone he came in contact with. Jim is the epitome of having a kind and loving soul despite being faced with enormous adversity.
We look back and smile today at the thought of our treasured memories shared with Jim.
Please enjoy our video that we created to spread awareness and raise money for Jim's cause.

Atlanta Network Systems has continued to support our friend Jim Burton and his battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease". ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. We have been incredibly fortunate to watch Jim continue to thrive as a leader and author despite his condition. The Dahlonega Nugget recently highlighted the release of his new book. Here is what they had to say!
Jim Burton didn't plan to write his latest book without typing.
But he's the type to do whatever needs to be done to get the story out.
The former world-traveling photo journalist has spent a career working for major daily newspapers and magazines, as well as ministering to people as a lay-preacher and missionary.
He was diagnosed with ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease,6 years ago.
Burton said ALS affected his legs first, but after a few years began to make it difficult to type.
The Chelsey Park resident began trying out talk-to-text software for the computer he used to write his books even before the time he really needed to rely on it.
He said the "Dragon Dictate" software was cumbersome, but it allowed him to keep writing.
"As a writer I feel like I'm meticulous," Burton said.
He said that when writing a 60,000 word manuscript, mistakes can get lost.
"With experience you get better at using the software. It learns your voice and cadence and your vocabulary," he said.
Burton, who has published books about living life according to God's guidance, turned his attention to the subject of ALS in his 2014 book Life in the Blue Zone.
But more recently, he has turned his attention to fiction.
He recalled reading many John Grisham novels and thinking that he could write in the same genre.
His latest book is called Ransomed.
Burton said it is the story of a couple whose baby is kidnapped with plot twists that include real-world issues such as terrorism, but also Christianity.
He said readers will understand the cover photo much better after they read it.
Family, friends and fellow Chelsey Park residents gathered to celebrate the release in Dahlonega last week, where Burton proudly read from his book and answered many questions about it.
The book is the first in a series to be published.
Burton said that during his career, his camera has taken him around the world, including 18 countries and four territories.
He recalled a particularly harrowing trip he experienced as a photographer with a missionary team traveling to Iran on a C130 plane.
When the group landed in Sanandij, Burton said their plane was circled by military personnel with machine guns.
Ultimately they reached the refugee camp to bring aid to the Kurdish people.
Burton spent his career traveling to locales such as Japan, Hong King, Korea, Russia and the Middle East.
Later in his career he moved to Forsyth County where he spent more time as a minister to several area churches.
He said he is happy to say he doesn't have regrets in life, as he as been fortunate to travel widely and have many experiences.
The link to Jim's new book is below! Enjoy!

The key qualities that have made ANS an exceptional nationwide installation and service company include excellent responsiveness, high standards of work, and the precise cross training of employees.
The excellent responsiveness places emphasis of valuing the customers time when calling in. When the phone rings into ANS, every phone will ring at every desk to ensure that you are able to speak with someone immediately. The whole waiting in the que system for the next available representative is nonexistent at ANS. President Vicki Burrell has taken out all glass in the offices to maximize communication among the team. The employees work as one to satisfy the customer's informational needs.
Our high standard of work is based on dependability and attention to detail. ANS prides itself on getting the job done quickly and correctly on the first visit. All jobs are photo documented and uploaded to an intricately designed portal. These photos are then checked by a quality control auditing team to ensure our high standards are met on every job.
One of the most valuable qualities of our employees is that they are all cross trained. All the project coordinators are equipped to cover all scopes of works and territories. If someone is out or on vacation, there is always a team member equally qualified and knowledgeable to fulfill their duties, so your project doesn't skip a beat.
Over the past 25 years, Atlanta Network Systems has built up a complete portfolio of installation services utilizing a growing national network of installers. ANS has become one of the leading technology providers in the U.S. and has successfully installed over half a million systems. These services range from Digital Signage, Satellite, Structured Cabling, and Cell Service Booster systems.
The founding of Atlanta Network Systems can be described as a story of faith in a shared vision, taking risks, and overcoming challenges. The stars of the story include former Scientific Atlanta employees and installation experts Jim Drummond, Vicki Burrell, and Brenda Durham. After coming together into the same work division at Scientific Atlanta and realizing the nationwide installation potential that the three could generate together, Jim proposed an idea to Vicki and Brenda that would change their lives forever.
The idea to break away in search of more responsibility, potential for growth, and the pride of calling their nationwide installation business their own was launched. Although the potential risks were large, the three combined their strengths to produce the perfect formula of resources for success. Brenda’s exceptional accounting skill, Vicki’s experienced operational skills, and Jim’s leadership skills, created confidence among the group. A common level of trust and respect instilled throughout the team confirmed that they were ready to take this great leap and become one of the most elite nationwide installation companies around. Plans were created, resignation letters signed, and Atlanta Network Systems was born.
On December 10, 2012, the lives of the ANS team were changed forever. The passing of Atlanta Network System’s founder, Jim Drummond, left a hole in all our hearts that could never be filled.
Over the past five years, I have been incredibly blessed to be able to watch ANS not only adapt but thrive as a nationwide service and installation company. It never ceases to amaze me how we have been able to constantly overcome challenges in the face of such tremendous adversity in an ever-changing technological industry. The fire fighter like response to solving problems has been unlike anything I’ve ever seen in any other organization.
The immediate emergence of Vicki Burrell as our leader has been pivotal to the continued success of ANS. With over 40 years of experience as a top management leader in the industry, ANS could not have fallen into better hands. Her passion, drive, and love for this company is simply unmatched. As the industry has changed, Vicki’s leadership has been the driving force in nearly tripling the size of our nationwide field force. The scopes of work that our highly skilled technicians can install and service has rapidly grown within Digital Signage, Satellite, Structured Cabling, and Cell Service Boosting.
Even though Jim is no longer here with us, his memory and life lessons taught will live on forever. The values of hard work, integrity, and respect were instilled into each ANS team member. These values hold strong today and will continue to hold for years to come.
We love you and miss you more than words can express Jim Drummond. We know you are incredibly proud and are smiling down on us bigger than ever today.
